CRAMPING!?

I hope it's normal but I've been having horrible cramps. Before I got pregnant my period cramps were so bad two 600mg ibuprofens didn't do anything! So I'm thinking maybe I'm just sensitive? I'm 7 weeks and I've had my first ultrasound and everything's good..still worried about the cramps..had to call out of work today because I couldn't walk. No bleeding tho so I'm not freaking. Am I the only one?

Cramps are normal. Your uterus is growing. You may have different kinds of cramps. Some are like period cramps and some are like a charlie horse. The second ones are called round ligament pain. They suck. But it's all normal as our bodies adjust to baby growing. If you have spotting or bleeding though call your care provider. Otherwise everything is fine.

yes i had the same exact problem. but i havent gone in for blood work or an us yet. im about 6 weeks along, and ive never really experienced cramps when i got my period. so i just ask people of experience, who say its totally normal, that the uteres is just growing.

I have been cramping since the day I found out I was pregnant. I did with my ds (dear son) also. Im hoping they go away soon, its very uncomfortable at times. It seems if I relax a bit it helps alot! Good luck to everyone! ~Kristin
